FOREWORD. 



This record aims to prove that the Colcords of New 
Hampshire and Maine, whence have come all the Colcords 
in the United States, are the descendants of Samuel Col- 
cord, of Kingston, N. H., and of his father Edward, of 
Dover, who came to New England about 1630-31 from 
Hants Co.. England. 

Only those famihes bearing the Colcord name have 
been recorded in the body of this book, later than the 7th 
generation from Edward. 

The author desires to extend his most grateful ac- 
knowledgements and thanks to the many relatives and 
friends who have kindly aided and encouraged him in his 
work, and especially to Prof. D. H. Colcord, of Pomona 
College, Cal., Prof. E. J. Bartlett, of Dartmouth College; 
Miss J. C. Colcord, of Orono A. College, Me., whose witty 
and felicitous suggestions furnished some valuable clues ; 
A. D. Colcord, of Winterport, Me., ("An Old River Town") 
of which he has published the history in an attractive 
book; and to Edwin R. Towle, author of "Towle Genea- 
logy," who has kindly furnished much original informa- 
tion, besides the large amount transcribed from his well- 
written book. M. J. Colcord, co-laborer and publisher, has 
also furnished a large portion of the records. 

Thanks are also due to Sarah E. Cushman of the N. 
E. Gen. Society, of Boston, Mass., for careful and pains- 
taking work in searching for ancient records relating to 
the Colcord families and relatives in the N. E. Hist. & Gen. 
Soc. Library at Boston.

COLCORD GENEALOGY. 



GENERATION I. 



Of Hdward Colcord,^ the Urst of that name to settle 

in America. 

Edward Colcott, or Colcord, came to Portsmouth, N.H., 
from Hants County, England, about 1631, when he was 
fifteen years old. The name is derived from Cole, an old 
English name, and Cote or Cot, a cottage or house with 
lands adjoining. The Colcott "Crest" is a sitting Hon 
("Hon sejant") collared and lined with the motto : "Dieu 
Avec Nous" beneath, which is a part of the coat of arms 
of the Earl of Berkeley — conferred by authority. The first 
Earl of Berkeley was created in 1421 (Burke). His name 
was also spelled Colcote. 

When Edward^ came to Portsmouth, in 1631, "there 
were," he affirms, "but three houses in aU that side of the 
country adjoining Pascataqua River." 

He went to Exeter and resided in or near there until 
after 1638. He married Ann (e) Page and was in "Pasquat- 
iquate," or Dover, in 1640, being 5th grantee in the hst of 
the first grants given. He signed a petition for an inde- 
pendent government, sent to the King in 1642, and in 1643, 
June 14, was appointed "Magistrate" of Dover with two 
associates by the "Court of Mass." He returned to Exeter 
in 1644, was in Hampton, a few miles east of Exeter, in 
1()45, and by "grants" and trading acquired lands in Do- 
ver, Exeter and New Market. 

He was often engaged in litigation, a man of inde- 
pendent spirit who chafed under restraint, and loved ad- 



8 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

venture. He had many friends and not a few enemies. 
He raised a large family, the daughters marrying into 
some of the best of the colonist families, and becoming 
the mothers of the Dearborn, Hobbs, Fifield, Coffin, and 
Stevens families. His oldest son, Jonathan, died in his 
twenty-first year (1661) and his two remaining sons 
marched to Rhode Island in the King Phillips' War, in 
which Edward, Jr., was slain by the Indians at North 
Hill, June 13, 1677; a young man of promise "whose 
death was greatly regretted." 

Edward^ was now past 60 years old and February 10, 
1681-2, he died at Hampton, N. H., where all his children 
were raised.

COLCORD GENEALOGY. 



GENERATION II. 



Family of Mdward} 

Children of Edward^ and Ann (Page) Colcord. 

Jonathan, born 1641; died 1661. No record. 
(a)lHAnnah, born 1646, Hampton; married Thos. Dearborn. 

(b) Sarah, born 1647, Hampton; married John Hobbs, Dec. 28, 1665. 

(c) Mary, born Oct. 14, 1649, Hampton; married Rev. BenJ. Flfleld, 1670. 
Kdward, Jr., born Feb. 2, 1661, Hampton: slain by Indians, June 13, 1677. 

(d) Samuel, Lieut,, born 1656; married Mary Ayer In 1680-1. 

(e) Mehltable, born 1658; married Nathaniel Stevens of Salisbury. 
Shuah, born 1660. No record. 

(f ) Deborah, born 1664; married Tristram Coffin about 1684. 
Abigail, born July 23, 1«!7. 

* Hannah (Col(3ord) Dearborn married in Hampton, N. 
H., where her descendants still live, and where her father 
died, was the mother of a large and influential family. 
Her husband, Thomas Dearborn, was born in 1634 in Eng- 
land, and came to Hampton, N. H., early in its history. 

Her grandson, Reuben Dearborn, married Esther 
Hobbs, a grand daughter of her sister Sarah (Colcord) 
Hobbs. 

Fifteen Dearborns were among the Alumni of Dart- 
mouth College, catalogue of 1900. Nearly all were from 
the original Hampton family. Henry Dearborn, born at 
Hampton in 1751 was a Major in the Revolutionary Army, 
A. M. C, and later Secretary of War. 

^ Sarah (Colcord) Hobbs was the ancestress of Reuben 
Towle, the founder of the Franklin, Vermont branch of the 
Towle family of Hampton, N. H. Reuben's gi*andmother, 



10 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

Sarah Hobbs (Towle) was a granddaughter of Sarah Col- 
cord, Edward's^ daughter. 

Capt. Hobbs of the Colonial Army, 1755, was a de- 
scendant. Deacon Hobbs, Sarah's husband, was a pious 
man and lived to an advanced age, dying in Hampton. 

'^ Rev. Benj. Fifield, Mary's husband, died at Hampton 
Falls. 

^ Lieut. Samuel Colcord^ went with his brother Ed- 
ward^ to aid the Colonial Army in King Phillips' War in 
1677, in which his brother was slain and where he prob- 
ably earned his promotion. On his return he met Mary 
Ayer, of Haverhill, Mass., daughter of Thomas Ayer, Jr., 
and Elizabeth (Hutchins), born March 22, 1660-1, in Haver- 
hill, Mass , whom he afterwards married. 

After Samuel's^ return he was a member of the New 
Hampshire Legislature, or Council, in 1682. He manied 
Miss Ayer in 1680, his son Samuel, Jr., being born in 1682, 
March 11, in Hampton. 

In 1689 he petitions about lands in ancient Dover, 
which had been destroyed by Indians, and in 1694 was 
one of the grantees of Kingston, which he thereafter be- 
came very active in founding and building up. He moved 
there with his family and settled about 1690, but on ac- 
count of Indian raids he returned to his relatives and 
lands in Hampton and Newmarket, remaining there 
until ordered to return to Kingston, by the Council at 
Plymouth in 1707. Meantime his oldest sons, Samuel, Jr., 
and Jonathan had grown to be young men, and Samuel 
Jr., married Lieut. Peter Folsoni's daughter, of Exeter, in 
September, 1704. Samuel, Sr., and Samuel, Jr., returned 
to Kingston after the order of the Council in 1707, and 
Samuel, the elder, resided there until his death in 1736, 
Oct. 10. His wife, Mary, died May 5, 1739. 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. ll 

His eldest son, Samuel, Lieut. Jr., bom 1682, died 
about 1716, and his widow, Elizabeth, married Samuel 
Sanborn. Hence the two Samuel Colcords, mentioned in 
the list of "Men of Kingston," 1727, must have been Lieut. 
Samuel, Sr., bom 1656, and his grandson, Samuel, born 
1710, then a young man. Lieut. Samuel Colcord,Sr., both by 
marriage and association, was connected with some of the 
influential families of his time, and has been highly spoken 
of by the early historians, as a man of sterling worth, 
patriotic, brave and energetic, an active church worker 
and a kind husband and father. 

He lived to see Kingstoii rebuilt, after Indian raids, 
and to found, with others, the first church there, in which 
some of his children were baptised and married. Some of 
his descendants still own the lands first granted to him. 

His daughter, Hannah, married a grandson of the Rev. 
Samuel Dudley, first pastor of Exeter Congregational 
Church, 1658, who was the eldest son of Gov. Thomas 
Dudley, of Ipswich, Mass. 

« Mehitable^ was second wife of Nathaniel Stevens, of 
Salisbury, N. H. Married in 1677. He died in 1682, leav- 
ing her a widow. He was born in 1611, the son of John 
and Katherine Stevens, of England. 

f The Cofiins inmiigrated from Devonshire, England, 
with the Tristrams and others between 1629 and 1640. 

Deborah's^ descendants intermarried with the Col- 
cords and Towles in later generations, and the name Tris- 
tum or Tristram persists in many of the Colcord and Towle 
famihes, as well as in the numerous Coffin families to the 

present day. 

The records of the famihes of Edward' s^ daughters 
have not been followed in this genealogy, except in a few 
instances, but may be found (incomplete) in several pub- 



12 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

lished volumes, and also in the N. E. Gen. & Hist. Regis- 
ter (60 vols.) and elsewhere. 

In the Fourth and later generations the Dearborns 
and descendants of Edward Colcord^ became connected by 
marriage, while the Coffins, re-entering the Colcord family 
through Bartholomew Tliyng, and the Dudleys, by several 
intermarriages, joined the Colcords. 

The descendants of Edward's^ daughters became very 
numerous — the first famiHes being large and far exceed- 
ing in numbers the male line — as Samuel, only, of Ed- 
ward's sons lived to be the father of children. 



COLCOliD GENEALOGY. U 



GENERATION III. 



Family of Samuel.^ 

Children of SamueP and Mary (Ayer) Colcord, of Hamp- 
ton, N. H. 

(a) Lieut. Samuel, Jr., born March 11, 1682; married Elizabeth Folsom, 

(b) Jonathan, born March 4, 1684. 
Elizabeth, born 1682. 

(c) Hannah, born 1689; married Samuel Dudley, ot Kingston, 1709. 

(d) Edward, born 1692; married Mary Gordan or Gordlng. 

(e) Ebenezer, born 1695; married Hannah Fellows, 1715. 

(f) Mary, born 1698; married Thomas K. Sleeper 1714. 

"" Samuel Colcord^, Jr , Lieutenant in French and In- 
dian War, born after the return of his father from the 
King Phillip's War, where his uncle Edward, Jr., was slain; 
went with his father to the new town of Kingston, north- 
west of Exeter, and lived there until about 1700, when, 
being compelled to leave the place by Indian raids, the 
family returned to their lands in Exeter and New Market. 

In 1689 there was no government with recognized au- 
thority to govern the settlements in New Hampshire, and 
much confusion and litigation arose over the various land 
grants. In 1690 neither the Plymouth nor Massachusetts 
Bay Colony had a charter, but a new charter was granted 
in 1691, and SamueF was made a grantee of lands at 
Kingston in 1694. In 1707, being ordered by the Council 
at Plymouth to return to their habitation in Kingston, 
SamueF, now about 25 years old, married Miss Folsom of 
Exeter, daughter of Lieut. Peter Folsom, and returned 
with his father to Kingston where his children, Peter, 
Elizabeth, Samuel B., Benjamin and Mary were born. 



14 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

SaniueF died shortly after the birth of his last child (1715) 
and his widow married Samuel Sanborn in 1716. The 
date of his death is lacking. 

^ Jonathan Colcord"^ was named for his uncle, Ed- 
ward's fii'st born, who died in 1661. While a young lad 
his father was called to Military duty in the "Garritson" of 
Oyster River (near Exeter) on account of Indian troubles, 
and later was driven from his new home in Kingston, He 
was ordered to return to Kingston with Samuel, his father, 
in 1707, but does not appear to have made a permanent 
home there as we find he owned land near Exeter through 
which a "highway" passed in 1732 (N. H. State paper, p. 
632) and his son shipped cattle from this land (in W. New- 
Market) to "Passamaquade Meadows" in 1775. 

Jonathan was recorded as one of the earliest settlers 
of New Market, and owned lands "partly in New Market 
and partly in Exeter" (New Market Directory S.New Market 
families). No complete record of his children has been 
found. He died in 1773, Dec. 31. (Wilson Colcord's rec- 
ord). His son Jonathan, Jr., born about 1710, succeeded 
him on the farm and lived there until after the close of 
the Revolutionary War, and probably died there. He was 
married about 1708, or possibly earlier, his wife's name 
being unknown, not having been found in any records, so 
far as the author can learn, though much sought after. 

^ Hannah (Colcord) Dudley married a grandson of the 
Rev. Samuel Dudley, the first settled pastor of Exeter, 
1658, (Congregational Church) who was the oldest son of 
Gov. Thomas Dudley of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. 
Rev. Samuel's wife was Mary Winthn^p, daughter of Gov. 
Winthrop, of Massachusetts. A descendant of the family, 
also named Samuel Dudley, hves now on the old home- 
stead in "Brentwood" (1907)— A. W. Dudley. 



OOLCORD GENEALOGY. 15 

^ Edward-^ who mamed Mary Gordon ("Gording") in 
1714, was a little child during the troublous times, about 
1700, and before his father returned to Kingston was 
about 15 or 16 years old. His marriage in 1714 is given 
in the Kingston Records, and also the birth of Edward, Jr., 
in 1715. He appears as a resident of S. W. Exeter after 
1730, and is not in the hst of inhabitants of Kingston in 
1727. In 1730 Samuel and others petitioned for "more 
lands for their children," and in 1731 Edward, Jr., was 
living in the west part of Exeter (afterwards called 
"Hawke," now Marshall's Corner) where meetings were 
held, and the "West Society" of Exeter organized. On 
petition a church was formed, meetings held at first "at 
house of Edward Colcord, Jr." — Hawke Church Records. 
Later a new town was asked for and Brentwood was 
granted in 1742, Edward and Ebenezer being among the 
grantees. Edward was selectman in 1748 "in Parish of 
Keeueborough," and he and Edward, Jr., were residents of 
Brentwood for many years. 

® Ebenezer^ was associated with Edward-^ in organiz- 
ing Brentwood, and in 1745 "was miller of the grist mill 
at Crawley's Falls." Ebenezer, Jr., was born in 1726 
(Kingston Records) "baptized April 10th, 1726," and was 
found in Brentwood in 1742 and at Crawley's Falls in 
1745. He was a "selectman of Brentwood" in 1776. He 
died in 1824, nearly a century old. It has been found 
very difficult to trace Ebenezer's family, records being ab- 
sent or uncertain. It seems that one of the three John 
Colcordb in the Revolutionary War was the son of Ebe- 
nezer*, and one was the son of Edward*. The list of Jona- 
than's* sons in the New Market Directory does not contain 
the name of John, and Daniel is the only recorded son of 
Samuel B*. Recent proofs make it probable that the third 
soldier John was a grandson of Edward^ and a son of 



16 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

John*. It seems established also by tradition that 
Ebenezer^, Jr., born about 1750, was the grandfather of 
Ebenezer' Pay son Colcord, of Turner, Me., who married 
Sarah Towne in 1836. 

' Mary"^ (Colcord) Sleeper married Thomas Sleeper in 
Kingston, N. H., in 1714, and was probably the grand- 
mother of Hon. Jonathan Fifield Sleeper, A. M., a teacher 
of note, who died in Kingston in 1804. He received his 
degree from Dartmouth College m 1786. He was the first 
of nine Sleepers of the Alumni of the College, Catalogue 
of 1900. I have noted only a few of Mary's numerous 
descendants, 

Edward's^ grandchildren numbered about forty per- 
sons in the year 1700, of whom only four bore the name 
of Colcord. Of these four, SamueF settled in Kingston 
and died there. Jonathan- went back to Exeter and New 
Market and owned lands in both townships, while Edward-^ 
and Ebenezer^ settled in S. W. Exeter and Brentwood, 
after living in New Market a few years, before their father 
returned to Kingston.

GENERATION IV. 



Families of Snninel,^ Jonathan,^ Hannah,^ I^dward,^ 
and Mbenezer^, {of SamueP, EdwarcV-.) 

1. Children of SamueF and Elizabeth (Folsora) Colcord. 

(a) Peter, born June 27, 1705. 

(b) Elizabeth, born 1708, Kingston, N. H.; died 1735; unmarried. 

(c) Samuel B., born Aug. 22, 1710, Kingston; married Meliitable Ladd, 1732. 
Benjamin, born 1712; died, young. 

Mary, born 1715; married Col. Eben Stevens, 1736, Kingston. 

* Peter Colcord* was born during Indian Wars and 
probably while his father was in New Market or Hampton. 
He was captured by the Indians in 1724 and carried away 
with several others, but escaped "by his own courage and 
ingenuity," and on his retm-n reported "the Indians' pro- 
ceedings," which was "advantageous to the government," 
for which service the General Assembly of New Hamp- 
shire voted (Sept. 27, 1724) to pay him lOX. He was then 
on an "expedition against the Indians," from which he 
evidently retmned in safety, as we find the name Peter 
Colcord among the signers of petitions later, (1778-1785) 
but no re("ord of his marriage or family is at hand. 

^ One Elizabeth Colcord died at Kingston in 1735, 
either Elizabeth* or Elizabethl 

<^ Samuel B*., whose father died when he was a lad of 
six or seven years, probably lived with his mother after 
she married her second husband, Samuel Sanborn, and 
was one of the inhabitants of Kingston in 1727, when a 
"list of Kingston men" was taken. He was a grantee of 



18 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

Stevenstown in 1749. He was associated with Bartlett, 
Stevens, Dudley and other noted famihes. 

^ Mary*, the youngest child of SamueF and Elizabeth, 
was married into the Stevens family, into which her 
grandfather's sister, Mehitable, had also married, from 
which family the new town of Stevenstown was named, 
in which many of her relatives were grantees in 1749. 

2. Children of Jonathan^ and Colcord. 

(a) Jonathan, Jr., born 1710 New Market or vie; married Sarah Burleigh. 
John, born 1715. 
Samuel, born 1724; died 1824. 
Hannah, married Josiah Oilman. 

^ Jonathan* was born after his father had been order- 
ed to return to Kingston (Council at Plymouth, 1707) but 
if his father went to Kingston, he soon returned to the 
farm in New Market (and Exeter) where he seems to have 
Uved and died. He was recorded as owning a farm "which 
lay partly in Exeter" and through which a "highway" 
was laid out in 1732, from Nottingham to New Market. 
His sons' names, but no dates, are given in the Exeter and 
New Market Directory 1872(Beckett). From the Waterboro 
Bible, copied by Ralph B. Colcord's father, Ivory, in 1828, his 
oldest son Jonathan, Jr., was born in 1743. In 1760 Jona- 
than and Jonathan, Jr., were on a petition in New Market 
as "Freeholders." In Oct. 1775, "Jona" Colcord paid one 
day's work on rafts for defense at Newington. In 1775 
he, (Jonathan, Jr.,) petitioned for permission to ship his 
cattle to "Passamaquade" to winter, but this must have 
been Jonathan* as Jonathan-^ died in 1773. In 1778 Jona- 
than is mentioned as a member of the "West Society," 
New Market. 

Hannah Colcord*, who married Benjamin Dearborn 
about 1738 and moved to Plymouth, was probably Jona- 
than's daughter. No proofs. — Dearborn Gen. 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 19 

One of the John Colcords of army record was un- 
doubtedly Jonathan's son, but we have only proofs of time 
and place of enlistment, without exact dates. 

3. Children of Hannah^ (Colcord) and Samuel Dudley. 

(a) Hannah Dudley, born 1716; married Josiah Thyng, of Brentwood. 

(b) Samuel Dudley, Jr., born 1711. See Dudley Genealogy. 
This line not followed. 

^ The Thyng family is followed only to establish the 
genealogy of Eliphalet' and John'' Colcord of later genera- 
tions. 

^ Samuel Dudley, Jr., was the ancestor of a Samuel 
Dudley who still occupies a portion of the original land- 
grant to Gov. Dudley, Samuel's^ grandfather. 

4. Children of Edward^ and Mary (Gordon) Colcord. 

(a) Edward, born 1715; married Jane Coffin of Exeter, N. H. 
John, born about 1718; married ; see John (5). Brentwood. 

(b) Gideon, born 1720-23; married Rachel Parsons of Cape Ann, Mass. 
_. Anne, born 1722-24; married Robert Evans, of Dover, N. H. 

Jane, probably; no dates. 

* Edward^ lived in New Market, S. W. Exeter and 
Brentwood, or "Hawke." He married in 1741, Kingston 
Records, and was living with his father, or near him, in 

5. W. Exeter, until Brentwood was organized in 1742. His 
wife, Jane Coffin, was the granddaughter of Tristram 
and Deborah^ (Colcord) Coffin, born March 11, 1721. His 
father and uncle Ebenezer, became leading members of the 
new town of Brentwood, but Edward, Jr., was living in 
New Market in 1760, and later was an inhabitM.nt of Exe- 
ter, where his wife's relatives lived. He was an active 
church worker, and among the organizers of the first 
church at "Hawke," now Danville, about 1731. The soci- 
ety first met at the house of Edward, Jr., Marshalls Corners.

Dearborn (Hist, of Parsonfieid) says he was the father of 
six sons. He died at the age of 50, before the Eevolution. 
His widow married Samuel Lane, of Stratham, in 1774, 
His wife, Rachel Parsons, was born Jmie 29, 1726; died 
Jan. 18, 1813. She was a daughter of Josiah and Eunice 
Parsons.

* Jonathan^ Colcord, Jr., whose farm lay partly in 
New Market aud partly in Exeter (Beckett) and whose 
birth was recorded in the Waterboro, Maine, Family Bible, 
whose record was copied by Ralph B. Colcord and sent to 
the author in 1907, was a farmer and stockman, occupy- 
ing lands owned by his father, from grants given to Ed- 
ward^ probably, by the Exeter and Hampton Colonies. He 
was a member of the "West Society" with Eliphalet and 
Peter Colcord in 1778, built rafts, for defense, at Newing- 
ton in 1775, and signed petitions in New Market in 1784 
and 1785. He died in Maine, Feb. 21, 1804, probably at 
Waterboro. 

^ David^ Colcord's date of birth is not found in the 
records. As his elder brother Jonathan was born in 1743, 
and as he entered the Army in 1775, his birth would be 
between 1744-5 and 1754. He married in 1776-7, his wife, 
Eunice Parsons being probably a niece of Gideon's* wife^ 
who had a sister Eunice Parsons, and whose youngest 
daughter was named Eunice. David was associated with 
Gideon's son, Josiah, in the army and his name was on 
petitions with John, Peter, Edward and Eliphalet Colcord 
in 1784 and 1785. He was in New Market, census of 1790, 
as head of a family. He was a farmer ar;d blacksmitli. 
He moved to Londonderry where his oldest sou, David*^, 
was born in 1778. Date of death not known. 

^ SamueP Colcord, of New Market (Cogswell), married 
Mary Pearson, Sept. 9, 1772, by whom he had seven chil- 
dren. He was a pious man and good singer, greatly loved 
and respected. At his deach "more than one hundred 
neighbors gathered around his dying bed to hear him sing 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 23 

Psalms." He lived in Nottingham, was very prosperous, 
built saw and grist mills, and died March 25, 1824. 

^ Joseph^ Colcord, who married Fanny Russell, lived 
in New Market, N.H., and was a soldier of the Revolution, 
a corporal in the same Company as David and Josiah in 
November, 1775, and with Job or Joab in 1777. The names 
of his children and of some of his grandchildren are found 
in Beckett's Exeter and New Market Directory, page 131-2. 

Of Jonathan's remaining children, WilUam, Mary and 
perhaps Jesse and John, we have no certain knowledge. 

Of the three John Colcords in the Army, one was 
probably Jonathan's son. 

2. Children of Hannah* Colcord and Daniel Gilman. 

Abigail Gilman, born 1740-50. No further record. Probably married Wil- 
liam Moore of Stratham. See Gen. 7. 



Families of Mdward^ and Gideon,^ {nf Edward,^ 

Samuel,'^ EdwardA) 

1. Children of Edward* and Jane (Coffin) Colcord. 

(a) Edward, born 1743; married , Exeter, N. H. See Army Rolls. 

(b) John, Lieut., born 1746-7; married Helena Carpenter, of Exeter. 
Jane, born 1748. 

Harvey, born 1750. 

^ Edward^ Colcord was born in S. W. Exeter, or 
Brentwood about the date of the organization of Brent- 
wood. 

^ John'' Colcord's wife, Helena Carpenter, was the 
daughter of Anthony Carpenter who died in the year 
17G0 when she was about three years old, and she went to 
Exeter to live with an older sister, who married Hon. 
Nath'l Rogers. She was married in 1780-82, and had two 
SODS, John C. and Tristram C, named for her husband's 
father and grandfather (Coftiu). John^ died July 27, 1821, 
at 75. (E. R. Towle). He was a 1st Lieutenant in the Revo- 



24 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

lutionary Army. Lieut. John Colcord enlisted May 26, 
1775, Sergeant; commissioned as 2d Lieutenant in 1777; 
1st Lieutenant 1st Co. 2d Battalion Continental Army in 
1778 (2d N. H. Continental Regt.) He was of New Market, 
discharged at White Plains, Aug., 1778. 

Another John Colcord enlisted June 6, 1775, in Capt. 
Samuel Gilman's Co. at 28; born 1746 or '47. 

There were two soldiers in Col. Stephen Evans' Reg't 
named John Colcord, in Sept. 1777, at Saratoga. 

Lieut. John's brother, Edward,^ enlisted in the same 
company with him in 1775 ("Edw. Calkert") — Army Eolls. 

3. Children of Gideon* and Rachel (Parsons) Colcord. 

(a) Gideon, born about 1750; married (1) Mary Moore, (2) Mrs. L. Lyford. 

(b) Nathaniel, born March 2, 1755; married Rachel Whldden. 

(c) Josiah, born April 10, 1755; married Mary Shepard in 1783. 

(d) Joab, born 1760; married ; had four sons. 

Jeremiah, born 1762; died in Parsonstield, Me. 
Benjamin, born 1765; married ; of Northwood, N. H. 

(e) Eunice, born 1767; married Jabez Lane of Stratham, N. H. 

^ Gideon^ Colcord, of New Market, (Wm. Lane's 
Dects, N. E. Hist. & Gen. Reg. Vol. 27, p. 179) probably 
married Mary Moore, of Stratham, whose mother was 
AbigaiP Gilman, a daughter of Hannah* Colcord, for his 
fh"st wife, and after her death married the widow of The- 
ophilus Lyford, of Exeter, nee Lois James — complete 
proofs are lacking. See Dudley Genealogy. 

^ Nathaniel,^ of Hallowell, Me., was born in New Mar- 
ket, went to Hallowell in August, 1794, and had two daugh- 
ters born there, the five older children being born in New 
Hampshire. Only a partial record of this family is given 
here. 

^ Josiah^ Colcord and his brother Joab, who were born 
in New Market, N. H., went to Parsonsfield before that 
town was organized, and a meeting was held at the house 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 25 

of Josiah which was the first "town meeting" called to or- 
ganize the town, their names being among the original 
members of the meeting. Josiah was at work in the field 
when the Eevolutionary War commenced, and hearing of 
a conflict at Boston, he shouldered his musket, left his 
crop and walked to Boston, arriving shortly after the Bat- 
tle of Bunker Hill. He served under Washington, march- 
ed to New York and fought in the battles against Bur- 
goyne at Saratoga and Stillwater and was at the sur- 
render of Burgoyne. After the War he returned to his 
farm and lived on the homestead the remainder of hishfe. 

^ Joab^ Colcord was with his brother Josiah in the 
Army and after the War settled near him and "in 1785 
kept an inn in Middle Road Village," while his brother 
"lived on the Middle Road, farm of H. W. Colcord."— Dear- 
born's Parsonsfield. 

^ Eunice^ Colcord (Lane) lost her father before the 
War, and when of age married Jabez Lane, whose father, 
Samuel Lane, had married her mother in 1774. She lived 
in Stratham, N. H. (See Wm. Lane's Disc. N. E. H. and 
Gen. Reg.) 

General Note. The date of Josiah's birth conflicts 
with that of Nathaniel's, one being given by Dearborn 
and the other by the Maine Hist. Soc. (Hallo well. Me.,) and 
the author has not been able to correct them. Dearborn's 
Hist, of Parsonsfield gives the names of the above family 
as being children of Edward, Jr., (instead of grandchildren,) 
but gives no dates or proofs, while there are several proofs 
to show that the record given above is correct. See Ap- 
pendix. It seems probable that Dearborn's statements re- 
lating to Edward and Gideon were from tradition only, (or 
chiefly) as they conflict with well proved facts from 
various records from other sources.

Families of Mbenezer,* and Samuel,* 

{of Ebenezer,^ Samuel,^ Edward.^) 

1. Children of Ebenezer,* and Patience (Stevens) Colcord. 

(a) Ebenezer, born 1750-51; married — — ; Brentwood, N. H. 

(b) John, born 1756-60; married Lydia Merrill in Kingston, May 10, 1787. 
Samuel (probably). 

^ No record is found of the date of birth of Ebenezer' s* 
children, but Ebenezer, Jr., signed the "Ass'n test" in 1776 
at Brentwood. This may have been Ebenezer^, then 26 
years old, and capable of bearing arms, and later Ebenezer^ 
Payson Colcord, born 1813, was claimed by Payson rela- 
tives to be of Ebenezer^, of Brentwood, which has been 
followed in this record. 

^ John^ Colcord, who married Lydia Merrill, of Brent- 
wood, had a son John ("Capt.") who was an officer in the 
War of 1812. He hved on the old "Colcord Grant" made 
to SamueP of Kingston and his sons. 

Dorothy^ Colcord, born about 1765-70, who married a 
Felbrick, was probably a daughter of Ebenezer.^ She mar- 
ried Jedidiah Felbrick, June 28, 1790. — Kingston Eecords. 

2. Children of SamueP and Colcord. 

Probably Samuel, born 1748-50, of New Hampton.

who had already organized a church in "Hawke" (S. W. 
Exeter) and S. Hampton and N. Hampton were incorpoi- 
ated the same year. New Market had ah*eady been "set 
off" from Exeter, and Jonathan^ owned land in both towns. 
In 1749 Col. Ebenezer Stevens, who married Mary 
Colcord in 1736, with Samuel* Colcord, several members 
of the Stevens families, and many others who were related 
to the Colcords were "grantees" of a new town set off from 
lands adjoining Kingston and incorporated in 1768, becom- 
ing Salisbury. It was at first named for Col. Stevens. In 
Kingston and Salisbury were born the Bartletts of Han- 
nah and Dr. Joseph Bartlett, the Stevens children, of Mary 
and Col. Ebenezer Stevens, the Philbrooks, the Websters, 
Sauborns, Dearborns and Towles all connected with the 
Colcords by marriage. Daniel Webster's father resided 
many years with the family of Mary and Ebenezer Stev- 
ens, and the Colcord, Webster and Stevens families are 
closely connected by marriage at the present day. 

Omitted from Notes, page 24, of Edward*'s children. 

Edward* had another son, SamueP, born July 5, 174S, 
who resided in Exeter, N. H., and who married Deborah 
Gilman, July 18, 1773, and second Mrs. Anna (Walden) 
Gilman, April 21, 1785. The date of Jane's birth is uncer- 
tain, and Harvey may have been the son of John* instead 
of Edward*.

water, now called "Swan Lake," then "goose pond," and 
the homestead remained in the family for more than a 
hundred years. He was a pious man, a fine singer and a 
music teacher, and at "three score years and ten," was tall, 
straight and active, as the author when a lad remembers 
seeing him. All the children of David'^ were sea captains 
or the wives of sea captains. 

^ Captains Benjamin, Chase, WiUiam and John Colcord 
were all sea men, engaged in coasting or West India trade 
generally, and had homes in Prospect or Belfast, Me.,

where their sisters, Eunice Lanpher and Polly Towle also 
lived. Searsport, Me., was a part of Prospect until 1845. 

3. Children of SamueP and, 1st, Mary (Pearson or Par- 
sons), and, 2nd, Anna (Robinson) Colcord, of Notting- 
ham, N. H. His children were by his first wife. 

(a) Samuel, born 1774; married, 1st Mary Tuxbury in 1801, and, 2nd, Hannah 

Knowles, June 5, 1817. 
Joslah, born 1776; died In Atkinson, single, 

(b) Jonathan, born 1778-9; married and moved to Ohio and had children. 

(c) Charles, born about 1781; married and was a Free Baptist minister In Ohio. 
Jerusha, l)orn 1783; married Mark Maloon and moved South. 

Nancy, born 1786; married Moses Snow and lived In Maine. 
Mary, born 1788; date unknown; lived on homestead; unmarried. 

^ Samuel,^' like his father, was a man of great piety. 
His first wife was of Deerfield. His second, of Northwood, 
was a daughter of Simeon Knowles and a sister of Deacon 
Levi Knowles. He was a millwright and a successful 
business man. 

^Jonathan settled in Jackson Co., Mo., near Fort Sib- 
ley, where he raised a lai-ge family. "He prospered and 
left a very valuable farm, now owned by Judge Samuel 
Hudson, his grandson." — Letter of C. F. Colcord. 

^ C. B. Colcord*^ settled at North Middletown, Bourbon 
Co., Ky., in 1813, then about twenty-seven years old, from 
the state of New Hampshire, with an older brother, Jona- 
than, going into business together. Their spirit of busi- 
ness venture, however, was not to be satisfied in a village 
traffic; so they engaged in extensive speculations, which 
proved remunerative, C. B. Colcord being the first man 
to take a drove of mules by land from Bourbon county to 
New Orleans. He was married to Mrs. Louisa Medcalf 
Bristow in 1824, and by that union were born six children, 
only two of whom grew to maturity: William R., born 
Nov. 26, 1827, and Francis Palmer, Sept. 17, 1829, receiv-

ing liberal education at Western Military Institute, then 
located at Georgetown, Ky., at which time James G. 
Blaine was one of the preceptors. — Letter of James R. 
Eogers, of Paris, Ky., Dec. 1908. 

Charles B. became very prosperous and prominent, 
and owned a very fine estate when he died. His wife's 
maiden name was Medcalf . By his mamage with Mrs. 
Bristow he became the father of two sons, Wm. R. and 
Frank P., and one daughter, Louisa. It is said that 
Charles B.'s grandfather, Capt. Parsons, whose daughter 
Mary was the wife of Samuel M. Colcord, of Nottingham, 
N. H., (See Gen. V) lived to be 116 years old, and followed 
the sea until he was 90 years of age. He was probably a 
brother or cousin of Rachel Parsons, of Cape Ann, Mass., 
(Gloucester), who married Gideon Colcord of New Market 
and Stratham, N. H., about 1745. Several members of 
the Parsons family were sea captains, and one, Josiah, 
married Eunice Sargent in 1719 and moved to N. H. He 
had 10 children. 

Of Jerusha and Nancy nothing further is here re- 
corded. See Appendix. 

4. Children of Joseph^ and Fanny (Russell) Colcord, of 
New Market, N. H., and Salem, Mass.

end of Enfield Poud, June 17, 1787. Tristram removed to 
Franklin, Vermont, where his only child, Betsy, was born 
in 1812, and the next year he died from a fever, leaving 
his wife and little child suddenly without support in the 
wilderness, one hundred thirty miles from her father's 
home. Her father, Reuben Towle, made the long journey

(a) Dorothy, born 1775; married Jedediah Felbrick, in 1790, at Kingston. 

(b) Ebenezer, born 1780; married Mrs. Elizabeth (Clifford) Payson. 

^ The record of the marriage of Ebenezer* (N. H. Hist. 
Society) in 1749 or 1750 fixes the date of Ebenezer^'s birth 
as not earlier than 1751, and the date of Ebenezer^^'s birth 
probably not earlier than 1778. He was married about 
1809 and died 1815. His wife was the daughter of John P. 
Payson. They resided at Brentwood, N. H., and Dudley 
or Turner, Me. His wife's mother was Hannah, daughter 
of David Clifford. The Cliffords were among the first 
settlers of Hampton Falls, 1715. See Appendix.

Samuel, born 1774; married , In Exeter. (See Samuel (7), born 1797.) 



General Notes. 

Gideon Colcord, probably of the VI Generation, mar- 
ried Mary Moore, of Stratham, about 1800 to 1810. No 
record of their children has been obtained. Mary Moore 
was a grand daughter of Hannah* (Colcord) Gilman of 
Jonathan.^ 

In the census of 1790, Edward^ Colcord, of Exeter, N. 
H., had two sons more than sixteen years of age, and one 
daughter whose name has not been learned. 

The record of the large family of Edward*^ is given in 
the next generation, and some descendants of George^ 
have been recorded. 

There is a tradition that Samuel,^ who was the father 
of Jonathan and Charles Colcord, came from England in 
1784 and settled in Concord, N. H., but no records or proofs 
have been found by the author to substantiate this story. 
The SamueP of Deerfield and Northwood was the son of 
Mary Parsons or Pearson, who was a daughter of "Capt. 
Parsons," who is also said to have been the grandfather 
of Charles and Jonathan, connecting the Kentucky family 
with Samuel of Nottingham, N. H., formerly of New Mar- 
ket, N. H. 

The records of Ralph B. Colcord, copied from the 
Westboro, Me. Bible, in 1828, commences with Jonathan,'^ 
born 1743, and gives his children and the family of Ivory'' 
Colcord, born 1799, and of Ralph'^ B. Colcord and descend- 
ants to 1906. 

The family of David^ is from original records and of 
SamueP from Cogswell's History, 1878. 

The records of the Maine branches are taken from 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 39 

various sources, principally from Town Records and from 
original comnmnications. Approximate dates have been 
supplied where exact dates are wanting. 

The sons of Jonathan* scattered after the close of the 
War and became widely separated. Jonathan^, Jr., born 
1743, remained on the farm until near the close of the 
century. David went, probably, to Parsonsfield, or that 
vicinity, on the Ossipee River, then to Londonderry, N. H., 
where David, Jr., was born (1778) and later to Tamworth, 
N. H., from which town David, Jr., emigrated to Prospect, 
Me., in 1799. 

SamueP went to Nottingham, N. H., probably, before 
1780.

* William, Mith his brothers, Joseph and Ivory, 
walked from Maine to New York State in 1818 on their 
way to Ohio. At Bath, N. Y., they found some friends 
from Maine and decided to locate on Bonny Hill, near 
Bath, where William died. He was never married. 

^ Wear Colcord, born near the Piscataqua River, mar- 
ried Elizabeth Tate Edgerly of Dm-ham, N. H., Nov. 13, 
1817, and Hved in Lowell, Mass., and later in Maiden, Mass., 
where he died Oct. 27, 1869. His wife, who died in 1873, 
was a daughter of Sanmel Edgerly, of Durham, the son of 
Jonathan. Thomas Edgerly was one of the delegates from 
Dover in 1689 to organize a council for the government of 
the Colonists of New Hampshire, who were then without 
a charter ; and in 1773, another Thomas Edgerly, a de- 
scendant, was one of the original male members of the 
First Baptist Church of Gilmanton, a new town formed 
from the older towns of Exeter, Northfield and Dover, N. H. 

Durham was originally a part of Dover, formerly 
called Oyster River, and was incorporated a parish in 1765. 

Mesheck Wear, for whom Wear Colcord was named, 
was President of the Senate in 1775. 

^Betsey Colcord Plaisted had seven sons and one 
daughter. One son, Ivory Plaisted, settled in Cleveland, 
Ohio. Record not followed; 

^Joseph had learned the blacksmith trade in Port- 
land, Me., and in addition to working at his trade, he 
cleared and tilled a large farm on Bonny Hill. He had a 
big nose and a jovial, kindly disposition, loved to play 
harmless practical jokes but was sincere and upright in 
character, unrefined but generous, industrious and of ex- 
cellent habits. 

* Ivory Colcord was married in 1820. He staid a few 
years on Bonny Hill, where eight of his children were 



42 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

born, and then moved to Sterling, Whiteside County, 111., 
in 1837. It required forty days to make the journey. In 
1828, he went back to his old home in Waterboro, Maine, 
where he copied the family record from the Bible, and 
from this record, which was preserved in the Illinois home, 
Kalph B. Colcord, Ivory's son, obtained the names and 
dates of birth of Jonathan ^ and his children and gi*and- 
children, a copy of which was sent to the Author in 1907, 
before Ralph B. died. Proofs of the accuracy of this rec- 
ord have since been obtained by the Author from other re- 
liable sources, and many of Ivory's descendants will be 
found in the later generations here recorded, but some 
names and dates are still lacking. Ivory was a man of 
sterling worth and a successful business man. Many of 
his children and grandchildren still reside in Illinois. The 
families of his sisters, Mary and Polly, have not been re- 
corded here. 

^ Phineas, Jr., married Eliza Russell and went to Cal- 
ifornia during the early settlement of that State, where 
he kept a store. His health failed and he returned to 
Boston, where he died. He left two children, a boy and a 
girl, whose names the Author has been unable to obtain.

COLCORD GENEALOGY. 43 

It seems certain that Jesse's first wife's name was Su- 
san. 

''John Nason Colcord, whose mother died soon after 
his birth, went to sea when a young lad and was one of 
the impressed seamen taken by a British frigate, whose 
impressment brought on the war of 1812. After his es- 
cape he served in the navy for three years, then joined 
the first Astor expedition to the Northwest Coast, follow- 
ing the sea for a number of years. Being ill on one of 
these voyages, he was left at the Sandwich Islands where 
he married a half-breed Spanish woman named Polly Ar- 
rnala, and in 1818 built the first house built by an Ameri- 
can in Honolulu. He raised a family there, and after his 
wife's death, he returned to Maine (in 1840) where he mar- 
ried Clara Webster, of Sanford, Me. He went back to 
Honolulu, S. I., with his second wife in 1842, but in 1845 
took his wife and family to Woburn, Mass., where he 
spent the remainder of his life, dying there May 5, 1852. 
See Appendix. 

^ David Colcord, of Porter, Me. , was referred to by 
Dearborn in his "History of Parsonsfield," Me., as the late 
Capt. David Colcord. He was Selectman of the town for 
several years, leaving four children at his death. One 
still living. 

''Mary H. Pearl raised a family; not recorded here. 

^ Jesse Colcord, Jr., died single. 

•'Phineas Colcord married in 1835 and died 1846. He 
was lame from infancy. Probably had children, but no 
record obtained.

^ Charlotta S., born in Porter, Me., went to the Sand- 
wich Islands and was mamed there to Peter Hatch, of

Winchester, Mass. She died in Oregon City (Dearborn) 
lU. (?) in 1846. 



General Notes. 

Jesse® bought a large tract of land in Porter, Me., in 
1808. His first wife died when John^ N. was only nine 
days old. His grandmother Nason took the babe and 
kept him until he was four years old. 

Moulton's History of Porter, Me., 'page 24, reads: "Jesse 
Colcord, born New Market, N. H., Feb. 9, 1769, married 
(1st) Elizabeth Nason, who (?) died April 3, 1835. Children 
(1st) John N. born in Sanford, April 18, 1793. Died, May 
25, 1852. He married (2nd) Betsy Emery, April 6, 1794. 
She was born Oct. 21, 1771, died Dec. 6, 1829. (2nd.) Eliz- 
abeth, born Nov. 30, 1794, and etc." This account is not 
clear and has given rise to much confusion and contro- 
versy. Emery's History of Sanford, Me., page 426, reads: 
"John Colcord, son of John and Susannah (Nason) Colcord, 
born April 18, 1793, and etc." I have followed the record 
of J. W. Colcord, John N's son, which agrees with Moul- 
tin's History as to his father's name, John N(ason), but 
says he was born in 1791, differing from both Moulton and 
Emery in date. Joseph B. Colcord in a letter to the author 
in 1907 says: "John, not John N., was Jesse Colcord's 
second son, and while in the Sandwich Islands married a 
native woman and had three children, two boys and one 
girl." Unfortunately the date of Jesse's marriage to his 
first wife is not recorded. It seems probable that the 
name of his first wife was Susanna, not Elizabeth, and it 
was certainly Jesse, not John N. who married Elizabeth 
(or Betsy) Emery, whose first child was named Elizabeth, 
born Nov. 30, 1794. The name of the Sandwich Island 
woman, the first wife of John N., is given as "Polly" by 
Mrs. Sarah Wyman, who is a granddaughter of Jesse Col-

Benjamin Colcord died in 1868, aged 64 years, 9 months 
and 11 days." (Letter of Captain Charles A. Colcord, 
Sept. 1908.) The above date of birth is deduced from 
this record of his son, Charles A. The other dates are ap- 
proximate only.

Their descendants live in various places now, but many of 
them still follow the sea. Their records have been com- 
piled mostly from notes gathered by Miss J. C. Colcord of 
the X Generation.

(Colcord) Hobbs on the one side, and from John C. Colcord 
who married Ann R. (Towle) Colcord on the other. Some 
of the Towle families, of Hampton, moved to Maine after

before 1755 would have been 25 years old or more in 1780, 
and he signed the "Association Test" in Brentwood in

The family attended the Appleton Street Congregational 
Church for some ten years, the then pastor being Rev. 
William Twinning. In 1840 he united with the Appleton 
Sti-eet Church, but in 1842 changed his church connec- 
tions and became a member of the John Street Church, 
and so continued until the Summer of 1853. After gradu- 
ating from Lowell High School, William went to work for 
Selwin Bancroft, of Lowell, in the grocery business, under 
a contract for four years, which contract was completed 
and he entered into a second contract for four more years, 
on which second term contract he worked one year, which 
brought him to the age of 21, when his employer proposed 
to him a co-partnership, which was satisfactorily consum- 
mated, and the business was thereafter continued in the 
firm name of Bancroft & Colcord, and so continued until 
1853, when the firm sold out. 

Meantime, William Colcord had been married to 
Sarah Maria Cousins on May 1st, 1845; she was a daugh- 
ter of Ichabod Cousins and his wife Mary Wiggins, of 
Baldwin, Maine. After the marriage of William Colcord 
and his wife they continued to five in Lowell, Mass. , where 
their first children William Henry and Frederick Wear 
were born, and until September 1853, when, becoming en- 
thused with the "Western Fever," the business having 
been sold out on that account, William Colcord, and his 
wife with their two children struck out "Westward-Ho," 
but they got only as far as Cincinnati, Ohio, where friends 
prevailed on them to remain, so there they squatted or 
settled, and he obtained a position as book-keeper in a 
bank in Cincinnati, where he remained but a short time, 
and in May, 1854, entered the employ of Gaylord Son & 
Co., owners and operators of blast furnaces and rolling 
mills, and while here employed he removed his family to 
Newport, Ky., a suburb of Cincinnati, on the opposite side

of the Ohio river, in Kentucky, where two daughters, 
Mary Elizabeth and Fannie Cousins were born, then in 
1857, under a contract with Gay lord Son & Co., he, with 
his family removed to St. Louis, Mo., and established a 
branch house there for that firm; the business proving 
very successful up to 1868, when William Colcord with- 
di'ew from the old connections and succeeded to the con- 
trol and sole ownership of the Saint Louis business of 
Gaylord Son & Co. and thereafter continued in the iron 
business in St. Louis, Mo., up to 1874. 

Wilham Colcord and his wife were members of First

school but did not practice till late in life, having devoted 
aboat thirty years of his life to teaching and farming. He 
held a Ucense as local preacher for some years and was 
active in Sunday School and church work. He was a 
very vigorous, active man, generous to a fault, and de- 
voted to the service of his fellow-men. He served one 
year in the Civil War, coming out considerably broken in 
health. He practiced medicine from about 1872 until 
within a year or two of his death. 

^ Nancy (Colcord) Gustin was married at Bath, N. Y., 
and early in their married life she and her husband moved 
to Homer, Pa., where he built one of the first saw mills in 
that backwoods country. They endured many hardships 
of pioneer life while rearing a family, and later moved 
to Illinois, thence to South Dakota, and finally went to live 
with their daughter, Emily Hasbrouck, at Pine Island, 
Minn., where Mr. Gustin died. Nancy is living (1908) in 
wonderful possession of her mental faculties, which were 
always clear and bright, tho now in feeble health and 
nearly blind. She was a charming story-teller, as many of 
the children who listened to her sweet voice can testify, 
and a splendid correspondent, her letters being models of 
conversational style. 

^^ Eliza (Colcord) Peet was born at Bath, N. Y., and 
came to Coudersport with her brother David about 1843, 
to attend the Academy, then under the principalship of 
Harrison DePuy. She taught school one term and short- 
ly afterwards married Jacob Peet, youngest son of John 
Peet, the well known Potter county pioneer. They took 
up a piece of land in what was known as South Woods, 
three miles south of Coudersport, being one of the first 
settlers in that almost unbroken forest. She was truly a 
help-meet, doing her share in buffeting the hard conditions 
of pioneer life, bravely enduring and energetically over- 



62 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

coming the hardships and privations of the early settler. 
A large family of children were reared, until the terrible 
diphtheria scourge of 1862 claimed fom' from their fireside. 
Four children grew to maturity under the care of a father 
and mother whom they can well "rise up and call blessed." 
Mr. Peet died in 1892 and Mrs. Peet made her home with 
her daughters until she died. 

An obituary of Mrs. Peet says: "Mrs. Peet was a 
woman of rare good sense and boundless hospitality. Her 
home from first to last was a haven for travelers and a 
place of hearty welcome for a host of friends. She was a 
woman of spotless character and sincere piety. She hated 
iniquity in all its forms but cherished a loving charity for 
the erring and a quick sympathy for the afflicted. To 
those who knew her best, her memory is a benediction, 
her example an inspiration, her death a personal loss." 

^ Amos D. Colcord was born on Bonny Hill, and left 
home at the age of sixteen, going to Cleveland, O., to learn 
the trade of marble-cutter. That not being to his liking, 
he joined a party of gold-hunters and went as far west as 
Iowa "to seek his fortune." There he enlisted in the U. S. 
Cavalry and was in Texas under Bragg at the outbreak of 
the Rebellion. He chose the stars and stripes and came 
North while many of his comrades espoused the cause of 
the Southern Confederacy. He served all through the 
war, escaping from over sixty engagements without a 
scratch, altho having his clothing pierced many times and 
several horses shot under him. He was a most hospitable 
man, kind and charitable. Altho having but little educa- 
tion he had a wonderful memory, could repeat a speech 
or sermon almost verbatim. After the war he lived at 
Coudersport, Pa.

education was obtained in the public schools at Lyndon 
and Knox Colleges. He was a close Bible student all his 
life, and became a Christian while a boy, joining the 
Methodist Protestant church. He united with the Chris- 
tian Church in 1875, and organized a church of which he 
was a charter member. He was an elder in the church 
nearly all his life and always a teacher in the Sunday 
School until a short time before his death. As a young 
man he was a teacher in the public schools. He pur-

ness until 1893, when, for the benefit of his wife's health, 
he sold his business to W. J. Moore and moved to Pasa- 
dena, California. There he built another home and hav- 
ing retired from active business, and with Mrs. Colcord's 
improved health, his desire was to spend the evening of 
his life devoting himself entirely to the church, his home 
and loved ones. On November 21, 1902, Mrs. Colcord 
passed to her reward, leaving him and their daughter. 
Miss Luella, in the old home. He preserved the record of

months before his death. He enjoyed traveling and 
had visited every state in the Union and on Oct. 13, 1907

faith."

cancelled. A little later, parental objection being re- 
moved, he enlisted as a private in the 130th Illinois Vol- 
unteers and soon rose to the rank of Lieutenant. He 
was about to receive another promotion, when in the 
battle of Vicksburg he was twice wounded, the second 
wound being so serious that he was carried from the 
field. For months following this he was either lying in a 
hospital recovering from his wounds or on crutches getting 
about with difficulty. His final recovery left him with a 
slight lameness which, much to his regret, prevented his 
return to the service. 

He moved to St. Louis where he studied law and was 
admitted to the bar. At the early age of twenty-two was 
by the Governor's appointment, made prosecuting attor- 
ney for the new Court of Criminal Correction. On the 
expiration of his term, he was elected to this office by 
popular election and held it until he resigned to become a 
member of the Missouri House of Representatives to 
which he was elected. 

He was in much demand as a public speaker and by 
many regarded the most brilliant platform speaker in the 
state. Had he lived, there is every reason to believe he 
would have attained a much higher public position and 
wider influence. His wife was a brilliant and beautiful

return to his chosen work. 

He felt that his mission was to preach to the educat- 
ed and cultured non-church-goers of his city, who, he in- 
sisted, were the most neglected by religious influences of 
any class in the community. His Chickering Hall work 
was to that end. Though in business hfe, he is still a 
member of the Manhattan Association of Congregational 
Ministers and frequently preaches. He has Httle regard 
for denominational lines. 

The exactions of business did not prevent his return 
to the platform in a memorable debate with the famous 
agnostic, Eobert G. IngersoU, in 1895, in which he was 
proclaimed the victor. His lecture, growing out of this 
debate, was in such demand that it was dehvered twenty - 
five times in New York City within sixty days and after- 
wards in leading cities throughout the country. On the 
occasion of one of these lectures in Chickering Hall, Col. 
IngersoU sat in the audience. His presence encouraged 
several of the many agnostics present to attack the lec- 
turer with volleys of questions and determined inteiTup- 
tions in what was evidently a preconcerted attempt to 
break up the lecture. Against this assault, Mr. Colcord 



82 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

held the platform for two hours, administering to his foes 
a defeat so decisive that the great audience, not satisfied 
with ordinary methods of applause, arose and cheered for 
some minutes, waving handkerchiefs, hats and even um- 
brellas with such persistence that the speaker had for a 
time almost as much trouble quieting the enthusiasm of 
his friends as he had before in subduing the interruptions. 
Seldom has a lecture been more universally acclaimed. 
The New York Herald said: "The great hall was crowded 
to the utmost to hear this lecture, hundreds having wait- 
ed for two houi'S in the rain before the doors were opened. 
Great applause greeted his retorts, men, and women even, 
stamping on the floor to swell the sound." The New 
York World described him as "skilled in language, witty 
and fearless, keen and entertaining" and adds, "Ingersoll 
was applauded, but cheers greeted the salUes of Colcord." 
The same paper, speaking of his audiences, said, "A furor 
arose and the people demanded more. Night after night 
they forced him to speak. Throngs came and made In- 
gersoU's audiences look like a pailful of dried seaweed 
alongside of a field of hay." The Independent described 
it as "brilliant and effective," while the famous Dr. Park- 
hurst in his characteristic style said of the lecture, "it is 
generous, pertinent and pungent; and if it does not gain 
access to the intelligence of his hearers, it will be because 
their intelligence is sitting with closed doors."

^ Harry Colcord was a born artist, and because his 
father did not sympathize with his ambition to develop his 
talent, the boy ran away from home and went to sea. 
After four years before the mast, and a few years in the 
studio of a famous artist m New York, he joined Blondin, 
the great tight-rope walker, and rode on the latter' s back 
three times across Niagara Gorge on a tight rope. The 
first trip was made in August, 1859, the last one in the 
presence of the Prince of Wales and 250,000 people. This 
feat required superhuman nerve. The pubhsher of this 
book saw Harry in Chicago in 1886, where he hved at 
ease by means of his brush, being a portrait painter of 



88 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

considerable skill, tho he told the writer that it was the 
disappointment of his life that he could not realize his one 
ambition to paint a great picture. 

Harry's recital of his daring adventure has been fre- 
quently pubHshed, and is a thrilling story, given in his own 
words, from which we quote : 

"There were 2,000 feet of the rope. It was of manilla, 
three inches in diameter, made in a New York rope walk, 
in two pieces. It took us oearly five months to stretch 
the rope and to get the guy lines in place. 

"It was two hundred and fifty feet above water at its 
lowest point, which was fifty feet below the highest — in 
other words, there was a grade of fifty feet in each one 
thousand feet. There were 75,000 feet of guy line alto- 
gether. Each of them was weighted with a ten-pound 
sand bag to drop them out of the way of Blondin's balance 
pole, which was thirty feet long and weighed sixty pounds. 

"I took my place on Blondin's back, and he began the 
descent from the Canadian side on the rope. By reason 
of the fact that I had to bear my weight on his shoulders 
and had to use my arms, and with main strength, to sup- 
port myself, frequent rests were necessary. I told Blondin 
when I wanted to rest, and then I dropped down on the 
rope on one foot and waited till my arms were relieved, 
when I would spring up again, using only my arms to lift 
and hold myself in place. 

"There was a forty foot length between the guys on 
one side and those of the other, and this it was impossible to 
make steady. It was the middle span. Below us two- 
hundred and fifty feet roared the river, and over it we 
swung from side to side. Still moving on steadily, how- 
ever, Blondin never trembled. When he had gone about 
ten feet on the middle span somebody on the American 
side pulled the other guy line. We afterwards found out 
it was done intentionally, and the rope was stopped in its 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 89 

swing. Blondin stopped and his pole went from side to 
side in the vain effort to enable him to secure his balance. 
At one time it was up and down on the right side, at an- 
other up and down on the left, and I recall now with won- 
der that I was only curious to know whether he would 
succeed in getting control of himself or not. I didn't feel 
any fear. Failing in getting his balance, he started to run 
across the horrible span, and we safely reached the point 
where the guy rope came from the American shore. Then 
to steady himself Blondin put his foot on the guy rope and 
tried to stop, but the guy line broke and with a dash of 
speed he ran swiftly twenty-five feet further to the rope. 
There he recovered his balance and whispered loud : 'De- 
scendezvous.' The perspiration stood out on his neck and 
shoulders in great beads, and we balanced ourselves on 
the swaying rope. Presently he said, 'Allon', and I raised 
myself to his shoulders and we went on in safety and 
without accident toward the shore. 

"It was not until we lauded that I appreciated what 
had been done Then it occurred to me that the man who 
pulled the guy line was one of those who bet that the feat 
could never be accomplished, and my indignation master- 
ed any reactionary feeling of fear. You see, many thous- 
ands of dollars were bet upon the ability of Blondin to 
carry a man over, and human cupidity stops at no sacri- 
fice. Then there were the congi'atulations and the praises 
of pluck and the rest of it, so that in my foolish, boyish 
elation I forgot everything else."

* William H. Col cord resides in Pittsburgh, Pa. Through 
his efforts the records of the descendants of Jonathan^ 
Colcord's sons, Phineas*^ and Jesse *^ have been corrected 
and brought down to date, and much information con- 
cerning other branches of the family has been obtained. 
To his ancestral contribution he adds the following 
regarding himself : 

"As the oldest child of my father's family I was taken 
to St Louis, Mo., in 1857, at the age of ten years, and there 
I attended the public schools and the University until I 
had absorbed as much of book learning as my wise and 
good father deemed me mentally capable, and at the same 
time, in a measure, qualify and fit me to take up his line 
of work, and as his heir and 'Crown Prince,' so to speak, 
assume the responsibilities and execute the duties and 
trusts evolving from a busy, hustling and strenuous life in 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 91 

the iron and steel industries, in which my father was ex- 
tensively interested at the time. 

"To what extent I may have made good, if indeed I 
made good at all, or in any degree, is not for me to say. 
This much, however, I do say, — that I early commenced 
on the job, have loyally staid by it, am still holding it 
down, and hope to round out an even century of time ere 
*I go to the land where my father is gone, where he shall 
rejoice in the name of his son.' 

"Could I in early life have followed my own youthful 
inclinations, the promptings of my own heart, my own 
mind's line of thought, I would have become a naturalist, 
a discoverer perhaps, certainly a traveler in the cause, but 
there were influences that decreed otherwise. I traveled 
'all right all right,' from ocean to ocean, from Quebec to 
Key West and Cuba, from British Columbia to Mexico 
City and Panama, afoot, horseback, by canal boat, steam- 
boat, stage, railroad, automobile and air-ship, as a sales- 
man of iron and steel and of the products of iron and 
steel. So much for your Uucle Billy. 

"From 1857 to 1877 my home was in St. Louis, Mo.; 
from 1877 to 1900 in Chicago, 111., and from 1900 to the 
present time, Pittsburgh, Pa. In Chicago, on October 1, 
1884, 1 married Jennie Inkerton Pearce, a daughter of 
James Pearce and his wife, Mary Gosh, of Cincinnati, O. 
We lived happily together until my wife died May 2, 1897, 
leaving no issue ; hence, as there has been "nothing doing" 
since, it must be evident to any inquiring mind that I am 
certainly long on ancestry and short to the limit on pos- 
terity. 

"Speaking of ancestry calls to my mind the verses of 
of John Kendrick Bangs, which are here quoted for the 
benefit of the readers of this little booklet, as they are in 
harmony with this genealogy : 



92 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 



'First lamllles' are very flne, 

If one believes In caste ; 
'Tls very well to have a line 
Of ancestors for eons nine^ 
Fair Eve and Adam started mine ; 

But, take It first and last, 
There's little in a family tree 

Whose fruit has gone to seed ; 
'Tls better far for one to be 
A mushroom minus pedigree. 
But of the best variety 

In character and deed. 



My boast is not of how I trace 

My line to noble Quelph 
To leaders In some bygone race ; 
But how I'm going to win a place, 
However fast or hot the pace 

As ancestor myself ; 
So that, when all Is over here, 

Up in the realm of bliss 
My forebears back to Adam's year 
When I arrive will shout and cheer 
And whisper in their neighbor's ear: 

'We're relatives of his !' 



** Albert E. Colcord was born in St. Loois, Nov. 17, 
1863. After completing his course at the public schools 
he attended the manual training school, from which he 
was graduated at the age of eighteen. This was followed 
by a two-years' course at Washington University, the lat- 
terthe most celebrated institution of learning in the South- 
west. Prior to attending the Washington University he 
had some practical experience as an engineer, which was 
of gi'eat value to him. In 1880 he was topographical en- 
gineer on the Missouri River Commission, accompanying 
Captain Wellman, United States Engineer Corps. They 
surveyed the Missouri River from Fort Randall to Sioux 
City, Iowa. There were eighty in the party, comprising a 
full corps of engineers. The aim at the time was to 
straighten the river. In 1881 he was one of another party 
which went out in charge of Professor J. B. Johnson, one 
of the most distinguished engineers in this country, now 
dean of the College of Engineering at the University of 
Wisconsin, and who has written much upon the subject of 
engineering. This party was known as a precise leveling 
corps and surveyed the route of a proposed deep water 
channel from Fulton, 111., to Lake Michigan. The value of 
association with these men was almost inestimable, be- 
cause it was at a time when talented men had time and 
opportunity to devote attention to study and the discussion 
of the various subjects under consideration. His career is 
further detailed by the "Construction News :"

COLCORD GENEALOGY. 93 

"In 1881 Mr. Colcord entered Washington University, 
where he remained two years, and then took a two years' 
course of architecture at the Art Institute. Completing 
this course, he entered the office of Kirtschner & Kirtsch- 
ner in 1885. They were at the time architects for the 
board of education at St. Louis, but Mr. Colcord' s work 
was not connected with that branch of their practice. He 
devoted his attention to the general work of the office. 
After two years, or in 1887, he went with the Wabash 
Railway, designing cars. After a year he returned to the 
office of Kirtschner & Kirtschner, where he remained for 
six months. He then devoted his attention to monument- 
al designing for the Hurricane Granite Company, with 
whom he remained two years, or until the Company 
closed the St. Louis offices, and Mr. Colcord then went to 
the quarries at Hurricane Island, Maine, where he re- 
mained about six months. Mr. Colcord came to Chicago 
in 1890 and has been very busily occupied since that time. 
In 1892, he formed a partnership with Thomas R. Bishop, 
which lasted seven years. Mr. Colcord was then for two 
years in the office of the city engineer, Chicago, designing 
bridges and work of a public character. While in this 
office he completed the course in bridge engineering at the 
International Correspondence Schools at Scranton, Pa. 

"In 1901 he again embarked in business for himself 
under his own name and has designed a large number of 
residences and apartment houses. 

"He has had a pleasant line of work. He is at the 
present time engaged in the construction of the Manistee 
County Savings Bank building at Manistee, Mich., the cost 
of which will be $90,000, and the First National Bank of 
Menominee, Mich.; also preparing plans for the Bank of 
Sheboygan, Vv^is., and the People's Savings Bank of Cedar 
Rapids, Iowa. He has also designed a number of high 



94 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

grade residences, including, recently, twenty at Jackson 
Park Highlands for Frank I. Bennett and associates, and 
is at work on plans for twenty more to cost from $12,000 
to $15,000 each. Mr. Colcord is a Fellow of the Ameri- 
can Institute of Architects, is a Knight Templar, and a 
member of the Medina Temple." 

Albert has one son, born February 19, 1909, named 
Albert Edward, Jr., whose portrait is found herein. 

*^ Walter Rea Colcord was born in St. Louis, Mo., and 
educated in the public schools of St. Louis. His father 
died when his son was nine years of age. His mother, 
left with a large family and small means, succeeded thru 
self-denial and rare good management in pioviding him 
an education. Of her he writes : "Having at an early age 
been deprived of the guidance of a father, whatever in life 
there may be worthy of esteem, is due to the ever pure 
and noble influence and example of my most honored 
mother." 

His first position was that of clerk in a railroad office, 
but at the age of twenty he determined to learn a mercan- 
tile business, and went to Chicago, accepting a position as

^Edward Colcord is a house and sign painter in Phil-

was Enoch L. Colcord, and father's Austin N., and to my 
knowledge father had two brothers; were originally from 
Boston, Mass., then came to Philadelphia where grand- 
father owned extensive property. My parents lived in 
Philadelphia and had two children, myself and sister Fan- 
nie, four years younger than me. When I was seven 
years old mother died and we were placed in an Educa- 
tional Home. I was taken from the Home by Mr. Ten- 
dal, Sussex Co., Del., and sister was adopted by Dr. Price, 
West Chester, Pa. My sister died at the age of nine years. 
I lived with Mr. Tendal till I was sixteen, then came to 
Philadelphia where I learned my trade as a painter. Lat- 
er on was married and have lived here since; have two 
daughters thirteen and nine years of age. My parents 
and grandparents are buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery,

* Mabel is a vocalist and actress. The Boston papers 
say of her : "Among the younger group of Boston act- 
resses perhaps none is better known and better liked than 
Miss Mabel Colcord, who is now a permanent member of 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 115 

the John Craig Stock Company at the Castle Square 
Theatre, and who in the few weeks since the opening of 
the season has given satisfactory evidence of her clever- 
ness. Miss Colcord is an artist in every sense of the word, 
and no matter whether her role be large or small, long or 
short, important or unimportant, she is inevitably certain 
to give it the distinction that comes of an engaging per- 
sonality and the rare skill of the player, who has studied 
her art and realizes its every possibility. There are few 
parts that Miss Colcord cannot play, and whether it be as a 
grand dame or a governess, as a heroine or as a servant 
she is always sure of applause, both for herself and her 
acting. Her ingenuity in dialect roles is especially 
marked, and she may be relied upon to give character to 
every person she represents on the stage." — "As a news- 
paper correspondent of 10 years' experience, both as a 
girl and a woman, Mabel Colcord, now playing heavies in 
the Keith Stock Company, had most excellent training for 
her chosen profession. Nobody so much as the newspa- 
per man or woman gets an insight into human nature 
and the ways of the world." — "Enthusiasm, hard work, 
and last, but not least, personal magnetism, are the three 
qualities in Miss Colcord's make-up which have contribut- 
ed the most towards her rapid advance. When she 
talks about her work she can't conceal her enthusiasm ; it 
leaps right out of her hazel eyes, and you can't help feel- 
ing that, to use a homely phrase, 'she would rather act 
than eat.' "

Several families of Colcords in Boston do not appear 
herein, as no record has been furnished of their lineage. 
Charles A. died in that city in Feb'y, 1U07, at the age of 
65. He was for many years deputy superintendent of 
State charities. His brother, Joseph George, a painter, 
lived at 60 Joy Street, Boston, in 1908, and they had two 
brothers, WiUiam H., and Benjamin F., besides a sister, 
Mrs. Harry Slavers, who lived in Somerville. Their father 
was Benjamin, of Exeter and Concord, and he had two 
brothers, Daniel and George. Considerable effort was 
made to get the records of these members, but without 
avail, and they could not therefore be connected in this 
work with any branch of former generations.

1. Children of Lincoln Alden'^ and Jennie (Sweetser) Col- 
cord, of Searsport, Maine. 

(a) Joanna Carver, born 1882. 

(b) Lincoln Ross, born 1883. 

'"^Miss Joanna Carver Colcord is an assistant in Chem- 
istry at the Maine State Agricultural College Experiment 
Station at Orono, Maine. She has a liberal education, 
has accompanied her father, Capt. Colcord, on some of his 
voyages to China and the Orient, and has been a help and 
inspiration to the Author in gathering materials for this 
book. 

^^ Lincoln Ross Colcord was born in South Atlantic 
Ocean on bark Charlotte A. Littlefield. Attended Univer- 
sity of Maine. Civil Engineer with the Bangor & Aroos- 
took R R from 1904 to 1907. Writer of sea stories, sev- 
eral of which have been accepted by the American Maga- 
zine, which says of his first one : "This is the first story 
ever pubhshed by Lincoln Colcord. Eead it and see if you 
don't agree with us that in Mr. Colcord we have found a 
real story teller. We have more stories of his. Mr. Col- 
cord's father was a sea captain and he himself has made 
voyages, so it is probable that there is a certain founda- 
tion for all these tales of the sea that he tells. 'Ah-Man' is 
full of wild adventure, and also affords a glimpse of the 
inscrutable Chinese." The Belfast Journal says of him : 
"Mr. Colcord, or 'Line' as he is known to his college 
friends, was a student at the University of Maine in the 
class of 1907. He is a member of the Kappa Sigma Fra- 
ternity and his list of college honors was a long one. Be- 
sides his contributions to The Prism, The Campus and 
Blue Book, he made the executive committee of the Athlet- 
ic Association and was a Junior Prom. aid. Not only in 



124 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

literary circles does Mr. Colcord shine, for he contributed 
largely to the art department of The Prism as well, doing 
the title page, a charming series of drawings to procede 
the class histories, some of the club headings and other 
decorations. The Blue Book owes to him its artistic cover. 
The Junior Prom, dance order cover also bore one of his 
drawings, which was reproduced in color. The Maine stu- 
dents also owe to Mr. Colcord the words and nmsic of 
their well-loved 'stein song', and 'Maine' men everywhere 
will unite with other friends in extending congratulations 
and good wishes for future success."

Notes. — It will be noted in the Bartlett record that 
the name of Samuel Coleord has persisted through the 
several generations down to the present time, and also 
that the Bartlett family has been among the leaders of 
professional and educational advancement. For 100 years 
from 1808 to 1908, Dartmouth College was never without 
one or more Bartlett students among its under-graduates. 
The Bartlett Alumni in the Catalog of 1900 number 48 
names. The Author is not aware that any complete gen- 
ealogy of this illustrious family exists.

18 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

Ebenezer Payson Colcord's mother was Elizabeth Clifford Payson, of Brent- 
wood, N. H. Her father was John Phillips Payson, who married 1st, Hannah Clif- 
ford and 2nd Louisa Clifford, both daughters of David Clifford of Brentwood. Eliz- 
abeth was the daughter of John and Hannah. Children of John and Louisa were 
John Payson. of Chelsea, Mass., and Orrin Payson, Ac. 

Elizabeth Clifford Payson after the death of her husband, Daniel (?) Colcord, 
married Palmer. One child was born. 



MATERNAL ANCESTORS OP DOANE L.(9) COLCORD AND ELLENORA R.{9) 
(COLCORD) ARMITAGE AND OF JOHN C. HOOPER AND ESTHER V. 
(HOOPER) H(>RD, CHILDREN OF MIRIAM C.8 (LIPPINCOTT-HOOPER) 
COLCORD. 

She was the daughter of Richard Lippincott, born 1800, of Camden, N. J., 
who was of Richard and Abigail of London, England (originally of Devonshire) 
who came to New Elngland In 1638 and settled in Camden in 1669. The Lippincott 
family dates back to 1086, the original name being in the "Doomsday Book" of Wm. 
the Conqueror. The name was derived from the old Saxon name Love and Cote, a 
cottage with lands, hence Love-Cote, Luffcot, Loughincot, Luppincott and Lippin- 
cott, which last name has been used for 300 years. 

The original Richard was a Baronet of Gloucester, Stoke-Bishop, with a coat 
of arms having three lions (running) surmounted by three tleur de lis and a mitre, 
with the motto below : ''Bectis Dubusque Secimdus," See Burke's Peerage, Duke of 
Gloucester. 

Miriam Lippincott's mother was Esther VanDusen, born 1823, daughter of 
Nicholas and Margaret (Hewson) VanDusen of Kensington, of John Hewson, born 
1744, who came to America in 1773. He built the rtrst vessel constructed in the Shack- 
anoxon ship yards, Philadelphia, the bark, Rosscan, for Stephen Girard about 
1788. She was still afloat in 1888. 

Nicholas VanDusen was of Dutch descent.

Samuel (5) 

and 1 Thomas Walden 

Anna Walden < and 1 Jacob Treadwell 

(Anna TreadwelW and I William Cotton 

\ Sarah Cotton ^^^^^^d . Ralph Carter 

t Anna Larier j ^^^ ^^.j^^ 

These were early New Hampshire fanailies. 

Mehitable Sampson, the wife of Daniel (6) Colcord, of Exeter, N. H. (who 
was the father of .-amuel (7j Colcord of Greenville, 111.) was the daughter of Michael 
Sampson, a son of Caleb Sampson, Jr., who was a son of Caleb Sampson, Sr., a 
son of Henry Sampson, who when a yauth of 14 years came to this country on the 
Mayflower in 1620. Her ancestor Caleb Sampson married Mary Standlsh, the 
daughter of Alexander Standlsh, who was a son of Miles (Myles) Standish and 
Sarah Alden, the daughter of John Aiden and Prlscilla Mullens. Hence six an- 
cestors of Mehitable Sampson were pilgrims on the Mayflower. 



THE PARSONS ANCESTRY. 
Samuel (5) and David (5) of Jonathan (4) married into the Parsons family 
of Gloucester, Mass. This branch of the Parsons family was of Josiah (Capt.) son 
of John 1666, Jett'rey 1630. The Parsons family lived near Boston and at Gloucester 
(Cape Ann), Mass., and New Market, N. H. 



Gov. Sir John Wentworth's daughter married Rev. Samuel Dudley of Exeter 
and several members of the (Jolcord family married Wentworths and Burleighs or 
Dudleys, whose children can therefore trace their pedigree back to Sir John Went- 
worth or Gov. Dudley of N. II. 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 19 



Historical and Traditional Notes. 



In 1661 Chief Justice Sewall of Massachusetts, then a small boy of six or 
seven years, was taken by his mother from a small town In the northern part of 
Hampshire Co. England, called Stoke-Bishop, to join the Colonists In New England, 
an account of which is given in a letter from Judge Sewall to his son published 
in the N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register. On reaching the coast of Mass. the mother 
and son were lodged by Richard Colcord (or Colcott) who took the "Freeman's 
oath" In 1632 and who was Clerk of the Court of Assts. of the Mass. Bay Colony in 
1672. Mrs. Sewall seems to have been acquainted with the Colcord or Colcott fam- 
ily in B^ngland, 

Edward Colcord's youngest son, Samuel, was at this time a lad of Ave or six 
six years and was living in or near New Hampton, N. H. 

No record has been found of this Richard Colcott's wife or children. 

Mrs. Jane (Colcord) Clark, a great grand-daughter of Edward (4) Colcord, 
85 years old (1908), has collected and written down the following statements. 

"Three brothers by the name of Colcord came from England (to America). 
Two of them married and settled in this country. The third never married, was a 
sea captain and was lost at sea.'' No dates or names are given. She narrates the 
following incident relating to the home of Edward (4) of Exeter. 

"^\^hen my grandfather (Samuel 5, Colcord) was a boy, one day he was up 
stairs and saw a large party of Indians coming to the house. The house is a quaint 
old two.story building, witli quite a large j-ard inclosed by a stone fence. I called 
there a few years ago and was greatly interested in the old home, with Its very 
large tire places and brick ovens, and the curious large wooden door latches. The 
front hall was of greater interest, with its steep, painted stairs, which turned near 
the top, where there was a broad stair. On the broad stair there was a large bag of 
beans, not tied up, on the day when grandfather saw tlie Indians. As the boy 
rushed down stairs to give the alarm, he upset the bag of beans, which pounded 
down the stairs into the hall below, making such a noise that the Indians were 
frightened and left in a hurry." 

Mrs. Nancy Gustin, of Pine Island. Minn., in a letter to the author relates 
that "three brothers came to America from England at an early day, by the name 
of Colcord. One of the brothers was the father of my great grandfather, Jonathan, 
R. B. Colcord said." (Nancy Colcord Gustin is now 84 years old). "One of these 
brothers returned to England and bought cards for a carding machine, and started 
the carding business. For this a trunk was sent him from his friends (?) 
in England, with strict orders to see that it was not opened until this Colcord 
opened it. The strictness of the orders created suspicion in his mind and he put the 
trunk on a shelf over liis head before oi)ening it. When he turned the key the lid 
flew open and two pistols wereflred at him, which would have shot him had he been 
in an ordinary position." As Edward (1) was only 14 or 15 years old when he came 
to America, it seems probable that he came with older relatives, but direct proofs 
are lacking. 

History mentions Kdward's name often, and the early lists of settlers and 
grantees contain his name, but no mention of relatives. Two conveyances of lands 
purchased from the Indians, bearing date of April 3, 1638, bear Edward Colcord's 
name, (Wentworth's History) and in Savage's History "his first coming is reckoned 
1631," This date is confirmed by Edward's own statement relating to his first visit 
to the Pascataqua River country, as recorded in the New Hampshire Provincial 



20 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

Papers, Vol. 1, Page 110, In which he affirmed "there were but three houses In all 
that side of the country adjoining the river." 

Traditions in several branches oi the family relate that two or three brothers 
came together when Edward flrst came from England, but none of them gives 
names until a later date, when Samuel and Jonathan are spoken of, as in the 
Kentucky branch of the family, which relates that "Samuel Colcord came to Con- 
cord, N. H. from England about 1784," etc. "Gideon and Edward came from Eng- 
land about 1700."— Dearborn. No Colcords have been found by the author who are 
mentioned in early New England History and who are not Edward's descendants. 

Rev. John Wheelwright, who was banished from Massachusetts because of 
his religious opinions, sought to escape the intolerance of the Massachusetts colony 
by purchasing lauds from the Indians in the wilderness of New Hampshire to found 
the new town of Exeter. He is said to have employed Edward Colcord to make the 
purchase. The controversy over the title to these lands led to much litigation and 
strife. It is conceded by historians that Edward was competent by education and 
Indian experience to make purchases of the Indians in 1638, the date of the convey- 
ances, whether he did actually treat with them or not. 

Later historians have contended that the actual settlers of Dover and Exeter 
who were driven into exile, had more right to the lands which they acquired from 
the Indians than the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which simply assumed control, 
even when without a Charter, and without purchasing them from the rightful 
owners, the Indians. It is not the purpose of this history to enter into a discussion 
of the famous Indian deed to Rev. John Wheelwright and others, long ago set 
aside. 

The Colcord families for 150 years, from 1630 to 1780, lived on or near the shores 
of the Pascataqua Bay and River, N. H., and on the small rivers emptying into the 
Pascataqua. The first settlements of Dover's Point, Portsmouth, Hampton (Beach) 
and Exeter could all be reached by small river craft, and new settlements were 
made on the shores of the smaller streams. Edward and his companions sailed a 
short distance iip the Cocheco River, from Dover point and founded the town of 
Pascataquake or Dover, and when appointed a magistrate, it was for the Pascata- 
qua settlements in 1642. 

The new settlement made by Edward Colcott and others, called at first Pas- 
cataquake, was soon partially abandoned on account of Indian raids, and Edward 
returned to Exeter, and received two or more land grants as a citizen of Exeter. 
Northam was incorporated in 1641 (including Pascataquake) and was called Dover 
in 1642. The bounds between Ejseter and Hampton were determined in 1646 by 
Samuel Dudley and others. I<>dward lived in Hampton after this date until his 
death in 1682. 

Here Samuel (2), Edward's youngest son, was born in 1(¥36, and his, Edwards, 
daughters married and settled in Hampton. Samuel (2) was a grantee of Kings- 
ton, which was settled by twenty Hampton people In 1694, and here Lieut. Samuel 
(2> died in 1736. His grandson, Samuel (4) (Samuel (3) died in 1716) and his son-in- 
law, Samuel Dudley, and Mary, (4) who married Col. Eben Stevens, were among 
the grantees of the town of Stevenstown, (afterwards Salisbury) in 1749. Edward 
(3) and Ebenezer (3) settled in S. W. Exeter and were grantees of Brentwood, 
formed from Exeter in 1742, while Jonathan (3> remained in Newmarket (which 
was formed from Exeter in 1727) and the "Jonathan" farm was partly in Newmar- 
ket and partly in Exeter in 1775. S. Newmarket was incorporated in 1849. 

Hampton Palls, North Hampton, South Hampton, Kensington and Sea- 
brook were originally included in Hampton. Danville, formerly Hawke, was a 
part of Kingston, where Edward (3) lived before 1740. In the 4th Generation Sam- 
uel's danghter, Mary, (4) married Col. Ebenezer Stevens, from whom Stevenstown 
was named. Ebenezer Webster, born 1739, father of Daniel Webster, resided many

years with Col. Stevens and his wife, Mary (McClintock). During the 5th and 6th 
Generations, from 1750 to 1800 the four original towns in New Hampshire, viz: Exe- 
ter, Hampton, Dover and Portsmouth, the two latter on the northeast and the for- 
mer on the southwest along the Pascataqua River, had been divided into many 
smaller townships, and the new towns of Nottingham, Deerfleld and Londonderry 
on the southwest and of Durham, Lee, New Durham and others (made from Dover) 
on the north east, and South Hampton, Sea Brook and Hampton Falls (of Hamp- 
ton) took the place of the older towns. Farther to the north on the Ossipee River 
and Lake, Ossipee, Tamworth, Tuftonborough and other towns were incorporated 
after the Revolution, and into these new towns went the younger members of the 
Coicord family. Samuel's descendants, as we have seen, migrated into tlie adjoin- 
ing towns of Brentwood, Stevenstown (Salisbury) and South New Market, while 
Jonathan's and Edward's sons separated more widely, members of the 5th and 6th 
Generations going eastward into Maine, to Waterboro, Saco, Kennebunk and 
Turner, and northeast to Ossipee, N. H., Parsonsville and Porter, Me., and later 
across the state to Prospect, on the Penobscot Bay. Many of the daughters mar- 
ried into more settled lives,and became the wives and mothers of professional men. 
Of these we may name in order of time, Deacon John Hobbs, Rev. Benj. 
Fifleld, Dr. Joseph Bartlett, Col. Ebenezer Stevens, Hon. \Vm. Coicord Patten. 
Hon. Ichabod Coicord Bartlett, Hon. Wm. Patten, Dr. Samuel Coicord Bartlett, 
Pres. Dart. Coll., D.D., LLD., Hon. Ezra Bartlett, Chief Justice William Henry 
Bartlett, and many others of the early generations. 

From "Towle Genealogy" we learn that "Anthony Towle, born in 1703, mar- 
ried Sarah Hobbs in 1734." She was a grand daughter of Sarah Coicord, the daugh- 
ter of Hldward (1). Anthony Towle lived in Chester, N. H., and had ten children, 
one named Jonathan, born 1739, being the father of Reuben, who was a tanner by 
trade. Reuben moved to Enrteld, N. H., and married Sarah Clough in 1786, and 
from Reuben and Sarah iTowle) the Towle and Coicord families of Franklin, Vt., 
sprang. Reuben's oldest daughter, Ann R., married tirst Tristram C. and after his 
death, his brother, John C. Coicord, from whom the Colcords of Franklin, Vt., were 
descended. Both Reuben Towle and John C. Colcord's fathers were soldiers of the 
Revolution, Reuben enlisting when only sixteen years of age. These Celcords were 
said to be of Thornton, N. H., before marrying into the Towle family, having 
pushed forward into the wilderness northward and westward from the original set- 
tlements in Exeter, Hampton and Newmarket. 

In the 5th Generation, Samuel Coicord, Jonathan's son, married Mary Pear- 
son or Parsons, as the name was variously spelled, while his brother David married 
Eunice Parsons, Mary's sister. Eunice and Mary were the daughters of Capt. Josiah 
Parsons of Gloucester, (Cape Ann) Mass., and his wife Eunice Sargeant. The fol- 
lowing incident is related by C. F. Coicord, of Oklahoma City : "I have heard fath- 
er tell of one of his great-grandfathers by the name of Capt. Parsons, who lived to 
be 116 years old, and was on the sea until he was 90 years old; that he lived four 
miles from his son's home near Boston, and when my father was put up behind the 
old Captain, on the old family mare to take him home, as soon as he would get out 
of sight he would get off and walk, saying that he could walk and liked it much 
better. This was when he was over 100 years old. He was born in 1697. He or his 
son Josiah sold land in Gloucester In 1743, and was then called a 'Coaster'." 

Josiah Parsons, born 1720, in Gloucester, was the brother of Rachel Parsons, 
who was Gideon Colcord's wife, born 1726. This branch of the Parsons family is of 
Jeffrey Parsons, and Sarah Vinson born 1630, and John, born 1666, who was the 
father of Josiah, born 1697. See Babson's History of Gloucester, Mass. 

There Is a tradition in one branch of the Coicord family that one of their 
ancestors was an officer in the British Army during the war of the Revolution and 
that he afterwards went to Central or South America, but no proofs of such a Col- 



22 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

cord have been found by the Author. Many wild adventures were entered into 
shortly after the War of the Revolution and about the time of the War of 1812, the 
recital of which at the firesides along the New England Coast, Incited many young 
men and women to leave their homes in the early part of the last century, and seek 
to emulate or outdo the deeds of their fathers by perilous journeys by sea or by 
land. They were the ambitious sous and daughters of hardy, adventurious fron- 
tiersmen and sailors, and so we learn that Tristram and John Colcord made the 
long trip of one hundred thirty miles through the wilderness from Enfleld Pond, N. 
H., to found a home in Western Vermont; three of the children of Phineas Colcord 
of Waterboro, Me., made the long journey toward Ohio, the "Landof Promise," one 
hundred years ago, stopping in New York State and leaving some of their family 
there, while others, reinforced by friends, pushed on across the wide prairies to the 
fertilelandsof Illinois, after a few years, -and thus New York, Penn'a, Ohio and 
Illinois contained settlements of Colcords which have continued to this day. But 
to many of the boys the seaman's life appealed more strongly, and often against the 
mother's wish and the father's command, the boy sailed away .into the unknown 

future. 

John N. Colcord, the son of Jesse, of Porter, Me., was one of these adventur- 
ous lads whose story is told elsewhere, and each family seems to have had one or 
more boys of the same class. Charles and Jonathan, the sons of Samuel (5) of 
Northwood, took their way to Kentucky, via Ohio, and became prosperous stock- 
men and traders there. IJavid, with his wife, Eunice Parsons, of sailor stock, went 
through the forests of Maine to the fine harbor of Searsport, Maine, on the Penob- 
scot Bay, where their children continued to "follow the sea," and later, in the 8th 
Generation, two of the grandchildren sailed "around the Horn" to seek their fortunes 
in California, while one took the "overland route" across the arid plains of the 
Great Desert, to the land of gold. One, Roswell K., attained wealth and distinction 
in Nevada, where he became Governor of the territory, and later Supt. of the U. S- 
Mint at Carson City; one accumulated some property, married, and died childless; 
and the third lost his health and property and left a large family to struggle with 
adversity at his death. 

The records of some of these adventurous men are only fragmentary, as in 
the case of Harry Colcord of New York State, who made the perilous ride on Blon- 
din's back across the Niagara river about fifty years ago, on a tight-rope stretched 
across the chasm below the Falls. His father's name was Moses and his place in the 
family has not been determined, but he related that when a young man, (he was 
born in 1828), he ran away to sea on a "whaler" and sailed to the Arctic Ocean, prob- 
ably shipping at New Bedford, Mass., which was then the great whaling port of the 
U. S. He was doubtless one of the "lost boys" in our family records. The Author's 
maternal grandfather was a New Bedford "whaler," (Bangs Doane) and related 
many tales of thrilling adventure connected with the pursuit and capture of the 
"monsters of the deep," which would strongly appeal to the young men of those 
days. 

During the Civil War, 1861 to 1865, the Army and Navy KoUs contain the 
names of Colcords from nearly every State in the Union. Date and rank of service 
has not always been given in the preceding pages, but facts are related pertaining 
to the service when ascertained. 

Many of Samuel's (4) descendants, of Kingston, continued to live in New 
Hampshire for several generations. While the children of Jonathan (4) and of 
Jonathan (5) scattered soon after the Revolution, Edward (4) had the pleasure of 
keeping his family near him, in the old Exeter home and in New Market and 
Brentwood for many years. In the 6th Generation, however, we find this family 
also separating widely, and now the members of the 8th and 9th Generations are 
found in many States from Maine to Oregon. 



COLCORD GENEALOGY. 23 

OF EBENEZKR'S (3) DESCENDANTS. 

In the Census of 1790 Ebenezer Colcord, of Brentwood, as head of a family, 
had two sons over sixteen years of age. and one son under sixteen. His son. Ebe- 
nezer (4), Jr., had two male children under sixteen years old and oneidaughter. As 
Ebenezer (4) was 64 years old his youngest son was probably born between 1776 and 
1781, and Ebenezer (5), Jr., born about 1761-2, was married before 1785 as he had 
three children in 1790. His oldest son became the father of Kbenezer Payson (7) Col- 
cord, born 1813, of Turner, Me. Samuel (6) Colcord, of Candla, born 1797, may have 
been the son of Samuel (5), Ebenezer (4-3) son whose record is incomplete. The 
names of the daughters of Ebenezer (5-4) do not appear in the records. Recent clues 
have been found by whicli the family record may be completed by later historians, 
with the help of vital statistics and historical data gathered by the N. H. Historical 
Society.

Additional Notes of Ivory' and Two of His Sons. 



Some Interesting facts concerning the life of Ivory (7) Colcord, and two of 
his sons, which came to hand too late for insertion in thebody of the book, are added 
here. See pages 40 and 63. 

"Ivory Colcord, Sr., was a native of Alfred, Me., and his wife of Keene, N.H. 
They arrived in the state of Illinois in October, 1837, when the Indians were still 
plentiful in that region. The couple with their six little children, traveled the en- 
tire distance from New York state, by water, shipping at Olean Point on a 
flat boat with household goods, going down the Alleghany river to Pittsburg, de- 
scended the Ohio, thence up the Mississippi to Fulton, 111., the place being known as 
Baker's Ferry. They camped out that night and the next day went across country 
about twenty miles to what was afterwards known as Genesee Grove. Here was 
their first abode, a small log house, 12x12. Their home boasted a puncheon floor 
made of split logs, with the rough halves turned up. This was quite difl'erent from 
the dirt floors of those pioneer days. Tlie house was actually provided with 
windows, the glass being brought from the East. The dwelling was considered 
commodious, as there were three rooms, two down and one upstairs. Mr. Colcord 
built another room at his own expense ofl' the house, and in this he taught the 
flrst school ever known in the state. About fifteen attended school, most of them 
coming on horseback. Mr. Colcord was the flrst coroner of Wliiteside County. He 
was also the first justice of the peace, which office he long held. In 1853 a ten room 
house was built in the woods, and this house is in good repair and in use today. 
This was a great novelty in those days, people coming for many miles to see the 
first large house ever built in that portion of the state. During the dark days 
of the Rebellion, the Colcord home was one of the stations of the famous 'under- 
ground railway' when escaping slaves were aided to go on their way towards the 
Canadian line. Hundreds of slaves were brot to the home, just before daybreak, 
and safely stowed away in the attic until night, when some of the boys would take 
them thru the darkness to the next station. All day long Grandma Colcord and the 
girls would sew for the little black urchins or their poor mother, and in the evening 
the little negro boys and girls, who had been as still as mice all day long, would be 
let out to scamper vuider the trees before being loaded like so many 'Berkshires' 
in the wagon to be carted away. Ivory Colcord died in the year 1865, age 65 years 
and was survived by his wife twenty years, she dying in 1885, age eighty years: two 
lives replete with good works, whose memories like kind deeds will live on as long 
as memory or tradition remains, thought of and spoken of with reverent words and 
manner." 

The following paragraph copied from the obituary of William II. Col- 
cord, son of Ivory (7) and Elzina Colcord, will give an insight into the kind of citizen 
he was. "He served several terms as principal of the Coleta school, and was honored 
with many positions of public trust, such as assessor, justice of the peace, post- 
master and supervisor. The latter position he held for a dozen successive years, 
and for the last term, was chairman of the board of supervisors of Whiteside 
county. In all these positions, he discharged his duties Intelligently, honestly and 



26 COLCORD GENEALOGY. 

thoroughly. No man In the township or in the county was better known or more 
thoroughly esteemed. During his residence of over hall a century in Genesse town- 
ship, he Injured no man, and he benefited, helped and encouraged many. Mr. Col- 
cord was abreast of the times, thoroughly progressive, well informed, an original 
and forcible writer, earnest in his convictions, but honest and charitable in his 
judgment of men and events. No man wielded greater influence in his commu- 
nity than he, and even his enemies, if he had any, must admit that this influence was 
generally exerted for the right." 

"Geo. W. Colcord, son of Ivory and Elzina Colcord, was born on the old 
Genesee homestead; he secured his early education in the district school, and later 
attended the Shimer Academy at Mt. Carroll, 111. He early began teaching school 
and entered the ministry later. He was a devout believer in the faith of the 
Seventh Day Adventist, and for several years was general secretary and evangelist 
of the church in Illinois. He opened an academy at Milton, Oregon, and after 
bringing this denominational school up to his ideal, went to Graysville, Tenn., 
where he started a similar academy. There the work was too severe for him and at 
the advice of the authorities at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, he was sent to Boul- 
der, Colo. He preached and taught in the college at Boulder, until his death. Mr. 
Colcord was a musician of some note, giving lessons in both instrumental and vocal 
music. He died, leaving his wife, Ada Lucretia Colcord, to whom he was wed in 
1866."
